# How are Novlr analytics calculated?

The Novlr analytics dashboard shows two main groups of data: Words Written, and Word Count over time. Here, we outline the difference between these metrics and how they are calculated.

### Words Written

| Words Written is the sum of all words added (regardless of how many might have been deleted) in a selected time period. This includes all words written in Novlr, including notes.

||| Words written does not include words that have been imported or pasted from outside Novlr.

### Word count

| Word Count is the number of words in a section or project at a particular point in time. It does not include words in the notes section.

||| Word counts do include words that have been imported or pasted into Novlr.

You can track your word counts over time in the Analytics charts, which is a great way to see your progress.
